1. Introduction

This is going to be my NaNoWriMo submission for 2014. I can’t think of anything else, so an intensive journalling experience might be the only way to succeed in my endeavour to make it to the finish line this year. I should explain what I’ve done: there is a 100 theme challenge on DeviantArt which I’ve experimented with many times, but this time I’m using it as a mathematical approach to my NaNoWriMo. 500 words per theme. It’s that easy. The challenge is to write 50,000 words. I think that an autobiography is an acceptable layout for something like this, right? "Yes," is the answer I'm going with.

I will introduce myself now, as it usual for these kinds of things. My name is Alexandra Mueller, I am 21 years old, I am a 4th year English student who is also pursuing a creative writing concentration and a German minor. I am a knitter, a beauty blogger, a writer, a procrastinator, and a foodie. I like talking to people, so if you decide to read this, please leave comments. If you're interested in stalking my on social media, I have instagram, twitter, pinterest, and of course, my beauty blog. Feel free to creep me, I don't mind.

What else should I tell you about me? I just had my 2nd anniversary on October 31st with a lovely gentlemen who shares my name, Alex. He's a gamer and has as such made me a bit of a gamer. We play Dungeons and Dragons twice a week in the chilly basement of the daughter of the associate dean of my faculty at the University. We play Team Fortress 2 when we're bored. We Skype whenever we are not together. We do everything together, we are disgusting, and he is a very important part of my life, so I had to introduce him too.

My ultimate goal is so become a writer of some description for my career. I'm aiming for technical writing, but I am also blogging as often as I can manage to see if I can make it as one of those fabulous people who have pulled a career from their hobbies on the internet. I would love to do what I love every day.

Alex and I are planning to relocate to Vancouver sometime in the future. We visited this past summer and I found creativity, life, vibrancy, and a lust for life that I hadn't felt since before high school (keep in mind that I am 21 years old). I crave that feeling and I won't stop until I make it there. Even then, I won't be stopping, I'll simply be finding a different goal, likely in conjunction with my career.

I am at 450 words. I am generally bad at talking about myself because I like listening to others in more detail, but I think I've compiled a significant biographical opening for this experiment. I am not sure how well this will work, but I'm already at November 6th with all my options exhausted, so I needed something that would pace me in a way that will help me figure out how to cross the 50,000 word finish line for the 3rd year in a row.

539 words. I'll see you in the next installment.
